  1. Good work and thanks for sharing.
  2. If no codes are popping up it might be a sign of the starter getting ready to go. It's just a guess though.
  3. How many miles on the car? Check your battery terminals and make sure they are clean and tight.
  4. This is the easiest way. http://www.beatsonicusa.com/stereo/stereo-installation-kits/toyota-lexus.html
  5. That looks really good. How much did they charge your insurance for it? If I may ask.
  6. What did you clean the MAF with? If it was not bad you might have killed it. You can't clean the MAF on the first GEN with any kind of solvent. Is your check engine light on? If so get the codes read or read them yourself. http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/intro/codereading.html
  7. Glad you got it worked out. It can get expensive dealing with car problems so far away from home.
  8. Wow you have a 2018 LS 400. What do those look like lol. Just kidding but the only thing back there that I can think of are the heater hoses and the rear coolant bride.
  9. Welcome to the club. If anything pops up just read the stickies and ask questions for further clarification.
  10. It most likely adds to it since the part is not sealed properly anymore not that I can say for sure. I've just learned to live with the road noise even though it's ANNOYING. And it mostly comes from the drivers door. It's an old car and even though all my door seals look good they CAN"T be doing their job after all these years.
  11. Be careful Banshee365s thread will make your head spin but it's VERY thorough.
  12. Check out these links. The procedure is the same for the GS 400 so don't let that confuse you. You have to click "1992 Starter Replacement" to get to landars thread. http://www.lextreme.com/starter.html http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-2nd-gen-1998-2005/394613-1999-lexus-gs-400-starting-problems-2.html
  13. That is called the front door weather strip assembly. Costs about $62. I've been thinking about changing mine. This part actually acts like a wiper to clean the water off the glass which mine does not do anymore since the rubber is dry and hard.
  14. The 2 bolts can be a nuisance since they are in back of the engine bay. You have to remove the coolant bridge and the wire harness but you will still have a hard time getting them off unless you have the right tool. The space is so limited and that's the reason why most ppl complain about this job other than the fact that you have to remove the intake manifold.
  15. Keep the car, she obviously wants to ride around in luxury YEAR round!
  16. If you or a friend is mechanically inclined and have a manual or just find a tutorial here or on the web you can tackle this job yourself. It;s not as hard as everyone makes it out to be IMO. Just take your time and make sure to soak ALL the bolts the night before.
  17. Sign up for a 1 day account and download the whole repair manual. It only costs $15 for the day.
  18. Looks good, makes me want to go clean up my engine bay and find another battery cover.
  19. Sounds promising. Where are the pics of the professional detail?
